we'll leave behind the live views and i want to show you how this storm still exists over the sierra, but that falls apart by the time we go through the rest of today. the real stormy is the warmup coming up. so we're going to look at this in a comparison of three locations across the bay area. oakland, an example first. i have tuesday through saturday and the daytime high for oakland right now is 67 degrees. we're going to be close today. but we're not going to be close over the next three days. look at that warmup for thursday. the 77. 10 degrees warmer than average by the time we get to thursday and the weekend rolls around. san jose, let's do your comparison. average daytime high is 70. the next five days and by the time we get to thursday, it's 83. it's more exaggerated now. and just to include the north bay on here, we're going to use santa rosa, 69 is the average daytime high and 83. that's well above average for this time of year. it doesn't last long. we have a couple of days here where we're going to get a nice warm spell and cool things back down going into the weekend and

central sierra and even southern sierra.own to a lot of water that has to melt. a little rain moving through. not a lot, but some maybe toward the peninsula and the south bay. a little maybe to the east bay. not much left over the altamonte pass but the sun has been going around milpitas, pretty light, nothing too heavy but it is there, picking up in intensity on 17. 50s in the temps for most. a few 40s but a lot of 50s. some of the rain is lifting northward to the men see know lake. quiet there. mostly clear and off and on rain. nothing too heavy, about a 10th of an inch to cover the spread. wednesday and thursday the next system rolls in and friday looks like the main rain day. that is the one that will stay a while. partly cloudy to mostly cloudy wednesday, light rain thursday, rain friday, then on saturday there will be another system clipping us. maybe north of the golden gate bridge, and some rain in there through saturday night. pam? >> thank you, steve. >>> the san francisco sheriff is reflecting on her decision to s

the sierra nevada keeps going on right along here.he totals are just through the roof and they continue to add a little bit to that, so the snow melt that has been great news has been very slow because the water content is tremendous up there. they picked up another 4 to 5 inches of new snow at sierra tahoe, kirkwood squaw and sugar bowl. rainfall by far and away was morin county. morin county. most rainfall is around a tenth of an inch or less but other locations have picked up a third. d. the most i saw was around mt. tam. santa rosa totals have gone well above at 131%, san francisco is above the annual rain average, oakland and san jose are still shy. may be tough to get san jose but almost at 15 inches of rain. everything is really a bonus from here on out but oakland and san jose have a little catching up to do to reach the annual average but they have a lot of time to do that. 56 in santa rosa yesterday, 66 today. we are bumping the temperatures up today. same for oakland as maybe the last system for a while. i don't think it is
